Up until now, the Divine Mystery Competition had already entered its final climax.
The winners of today's competition still had to treat their sprites after returning.
Because starting from tomorrow's semifinals, the competition mode had changed again.
According to the original plan of the Divine Mystery Competition, after entering the semifinals, the competition would officially begin.
There were a limit of six sprites to participate in the competition, and all of them were allowed to appear on the field. As long as all the sprites on one side fell, the other side would win.
Aoki and Daigo had to prepare well for this.
Miceli and Hibiscus Chinensis only had to cheer them on.
After treating the sprites of several people, Aoki did not take the sprites for their final training. Instead, he let them rest well.
After a few days of continuous high-intensity battles, although there was Aoki's treatment, there was still a lot of pressure on them.
Aoki, who was lying on the bed, was thinking about how to fight tomorrow.
Now that Mosquito Incense Lord had evolved into the Frog King, Aoki did not have a sprite with the characteristic of being able to move freely and participate in the battle.
This way, the Frog King's role was reduced by half.
In fact, there was another choice in front of Aoki, and that was to not send the Frog King tomorrow. Instead, he would use the Chinese Valentine's Green Bird.
Although the Chinese Valentine's Green Bird was not Aoki's sprite, after the incident with Reggie and Ace, Aoki could command the Chinese Valentine's Green Bird to fight to a certain extent.
A dragon sprite that was at the peak of the quasi-heavenly king level could bring huge benefits to the entire battle.
It would definitely be much more helpful than the Rain Sky Team that did not have the ability to move freely.
The Chinese Valentine's Green Bird was not Aoki's sprite, and the tacit understanding between them could not be made up for. Even if Aoki could use telepathy, it could not make up for it.
It was not that Aoki was worried that people would think that the Chinese Valentine's Green Bird was not his sprite, so they would criticize him for not using his sprite, cheating, and so on.
In Aoki's view, this was still secondary.
At the end of the day, the Divine Mystery Competition was the gathering signal for the Alliance to expand. Although the rankings of the competition weren't very important, it still had some influence on the various regions.
For contestants like Aoki and Daigo, entering the top four or top eight didn't matter much.
This was because they had already displayed enough strength and potential. At this point, luck was sometimes more important than strength.
Just like Kalluna.
She didn't make it into the top four. Did that mean that her strength and potential weren't strong enough? Would Kona, who won against her, be better than Kaluna?
Not necessarily.
Kalluna was just unlucky to have met Kona, who happened to counter her. If Aoki were to fight Kalluna, Aoki felt that his chances of winning would be less than 20%.
The completed Quasi God Elf was simply too strong. Moreover, Kaluna had the even stronger Chanaido.
However, due to her bad luck, she met Kona, who countered her the most. Even if she met Sirona, she might have a higher chance of winning.
Therefore, it could be said that after entering the top eight, luck was a big factor in the remaining rankings.
The higher-ups of the various regions also understood what kind of potential and strength the contestants of their regions had, as well as how much resources they should give them in the future.
This was already decided when the top eight or top sixteen was decided. It didn't have much of an effect on the final rankings.
This was because they had already found someone with potential. As for who was the strongest, it didn't have much to do with who they were investing in.
Of course, it had something to do with it, but it wasn't that important.
As such, for Aoki, it didn't matter whether he got first, second, or fourth place.
Apart from the difference in the prizes, it didn't matter too much.
Since that was the case, why not go all out and fight?
Since victory wasn't that important, why not use the opponent as a whetstone for his team?
He wanted to see where his weaknesses were.
After thinking about this, Aoki closed his eyes and fell asleep.
The opponents for tomorrow's competition weren't announced. In order to be fair, Aoki's opponents would be drawn on the spot tomorrow.
However, no matter who tomorrow's opponents were, they would be very strong.
Aoki slept very well that night. He didn't feel any pressure.
...
The day of the semi-finals!
Four huge hot air balloons were hung at the four corners of the Divine Olympiad.
They were the avatars of Aoki, Daigo, Sirona, and Kona.
Aoki's appearance was the most ordinary among the four, but his fans were no less than the other three.
It was because he was the closest to an ordinary person. He was the standard for an ordinary person to become a talent. This gave many children from ordinary families the confidence to become a trainer.
Now that the Alliance was preparing to expand, they definitely didn't have enough manpower, so they needed a large number of civilian trainers.
The Alliance was prepared to encourage the emergence of civilian trainers, and Aoki was used as a role model.
The spokesperson of civilian trainers.
Under the guidance of the staff, Aoki and Daigo walked up to the temporary stage in the middle of the stadium.
There was a box in the middle of the stage. It was the container for them to draw lots, and there were four numbers in it.
When Aoki and Daigo walked up from one side, Sirona and Kona slowly walked up from the other side.
Since the start of the competition, the four of them had already known each other. Even Kona, who had the coldest expression, nodded when he saw Aoki and Daigo.
Sirona, Aoki, and Daigo already knew each other, so she wasn't as cold as Kona.
Under the guidance of the host, the four of them grabbed the four white cotton ropes on the box.
Under the host's instructions, the four of them drew their numbers.
"After drawing lots, we have the results. The first match of the semi-finals will be between contestant Aoki from Fuye Town in Fengyuan District and contestant Sirona from Shenhe Town in Divine Olympiad District. The second match will be between contestant Kona from Guandu District and contestant Daigo from Fengyuan Kanaz City!"
The names of the matches were out.
Aoki's opponent was Sirona, who he had fought once before.
A strong woman who relied on her own efforts to climb to the champion's throne step by step.
She was the face of Divine Olympiad.
Aoki and Sirona looked at each other and saw the fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
Although Sirona had challenged Aoki in Fuye Town and won, both of them had only sent out one elf at that time.
Sirona proposed a full-on battle with Aoki, but she was rejected by Aoki.
However, Aoki had helped Sirona solve many of her elf's problems, and at the same time, helped her create many exclusive energy cubes, which earned him Sirona's recognition and friendship.
Therefore, Sirona brought Aoki to their ancestral hall in Shenhe Town, and let Aoki know many secrets.
This time, it was the first full-on battle between the two of them!
A battle between a cheater and the Liver Emperor!
